' fication.

The objectof my invention is to provide an improved apparatus 3 foreffecting vthe thorough mixture of 'ozoneandwater, there by increasingthe sterilization of the water;

The construction involved in mg inven-- aay'-Lus-:

tion comprises an emulsifier and sac column, together with otherdetails,all of \\-'hic-hI\vill he clearly understood from the description of myinvention with reference to the accompanying drawing.

I have shown in the drawing one form of the apparatus constructed inaccordance \Vlti! my invention.

In the form. of apparatus shown in the" drawing the ozone-supply pipe 30supplies ozone to the water'entcring the apparatus by the water-pipe 31,and a pipe 32 carries"th'e water and ozone to an emulsifier 33. Theozone and water are mixed together in the emulsilier and dischargedthrough a pipe 34 upon ihetop ol' the Gay-Lu'ssac column, 35

Passing down through the Gay-Lussac-col- .umn the W Jr is finelydivided, so that the ozone carried along comes into intimate contactwith the water and effects its sterilizalion. Arriving at the bottom ofthe Gay- Lussac column, the. sterilized water falls into a hydraulicseal 36, in the descending 'legof which the unused ozone has an oportumty to free itself and, rising into the c amber 37 The steri:draiih finds an escape at the pipe 38. lized water after being freedof-. the unused ozone is discharged through an outlet 39 from theapparatus ready for consumption.

it is obvious that some suitable sterilizinggas other than ozone 0r(monizedain'im'ght he employed without departing from, the spirit of myinvention. A

l laving thus described my invention, the fUilUW'ing is what I claim asnew therein and desire'to seci'ire byLetters Patent:
